Detroit: Become Human has every chance of being the PS4's next big hit.

And you can play the game right now (if you know how to do a few tricks).

Ahead of the game's launch, Sony and developer Quantic Dream have put a demo of the game live on PSN... in New Zealand.

So the game can be tried out right now if you set yourself up with an NZ PSN account (and it's not that hard to do).

If you're not too keen on setting up a new account, though, you only have to wait a day: the Detroit: Become Human demo is launching in other regions around the world tomorrow, too.

But if you are impatient, you can jump on to an NZ account and download now - you can read how below.

We recommend playing a bit of Detroit - the choice mechanic and the style of storytelling it relies on aren't exactly that easy to communicate without actually playing it. Quantic Dream definitely made a solid choice in choosing to release a demo of this title.

Here's how to set up a new account on PSN for an alternate region (note: you will need a real email address not registered to a PS4 account before doing this).

Log out of your main account on your PS4.

Click “New User”

Click “Create a user”, agree to the Terms of Service.

Click “New to PSN? Create an account”, then select "Sign Up Now"

Choose country in your region - in this case, New Zealand.

Select language, date of birth, and address form - find a public address in New Zealand (hotels, public buildings or shops all work fine) and add that information.

Fill in a real email address and create a new password. NOTE: This must be verified, use a real email address.

Create a PSN ID and a name.

Complete the privacy settings options.

Accept the Terms of Service.

Activate this system as your primary PS4. You will not be able to play downloads on the console otherwise.

After this, simply head to the store and download your demo for Detroit: Become Human.

We recently published a brand new preview for Detroit: Become Human.

Daily Star Online's James Wright had the pleasure of playing the new game at an event recently, and the takeaway was simple - it's looking good.

For those who are oblivious to anything about the game, here's a quick refresher:

The game is set in the futuristic and emotionally charged city of Detroit in the year 2036, where humans and androids co-exist.

But while the Androids have in many instances improved the living standards and productivity of the city, they have also replaced humans in a number of jobs and as such, there's a growing resentment towards the Android populace.

Coupled with this, a number of Androids around the city have started exhibiting emotions and acting as if they are alive, acting as though they have free will.

Players experience this story through a branching narrative that revolves around the Android trio of Kara, Connor and Markus.
